It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.

If the fire of hell is not literal, it is worse than actual fire, and if the gates of the Celestial City are not actual gold, they are far finer.

Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.

If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.

Where are the marks of the cross in your life? Are there any points of identification with your Lord? Alas, too many Christians wear medals but carry no scars.

It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.

No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
